The 12 ton will probably work. I have the 20ton from harbor freight, but i've used a 12 ton before and it did work for bearings but it was kinda right on the edge.

The harbor freight 6 ton is junk, I have one of those also, dont waste your money.



Just to let you know you're going to need steel plates or something to level everything when you set it in there. The knuckle doesnt just sit in there perfectly and you can press it out. I have a bunch of scrap steel, from 1", 1/2", 1/4", 1/8" steel to stack and level the knuckle.

If you dont do this often, you can just take the knuckles to a small shop. They usually charge $25 a knuckle. Unless you're changing bearings a lot it would probably save you money and a lot of stress.
